Het blootleggen van enterische GLIA-macrofaag communicatie in de intestinale homeostase en ontsteking. KU Leuven
Uncovering Enteric GLIA-MACrophage communication in the intestinal homeostasis and inflammation. The enteric nervous system (ENS) is a network of neurons and enteric glial cells (EGCs) organized in ganglia essential to control gastrointestinal physiology. Although EGCs have historically been described as supporting cells for enteric neurons, recent data from my previous work and from my host group demonstrated that enteric glia is ...

It is generally accepted that the collection of PRO data in cancer clinical trials allows the inclusion of the patient’s voice in the risk-benefit assessment of therapies. However, no standards exist on how to analyse, interpret or report health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and other patient-reported outcomes ...

Co-design and evaluation of improved information tools to support better monitoring of inpatient newborn care Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde
Care for sick newborns is typically provided by multi-professional teams that are required to adhere to best practises and these babies could spend many days in the neonatal unit. While care is often planned by a team of clinicians, nurses are the primary care givers in newborn units and thus accurate documentation of nursing care and patient progress plays an important role in both provision of quality care and team ...
